Awareness is the same thing as being present.
Calming your mind is part of this very thing. And, a little trick is meditation. Meditation can be as simple as no more multitasking. If you are washing dishes then wash dishes. If you are having a shower, then have a shower. It you are cutting the grass, then cut grass. Eating…..just eat. This is where awareness comes in. You will need to watch and make sure you are simply doing something totally and completely. No distractions from your mind or outside. If you are then bring yourself back to the task at hand. Slowly, you will find it easier and easier. If you can’t seem to make your mind stop wandering, another little trick I found…lets just call it conscious commentary. If you are washing dishes, talk about how she soap smells and how warm the water is or how great you are at scrubbing that plate. You are talking over the fact that you mind could possibly be wandering. Stopping the commentary at a certain point will let you see how your mind still wanders. No need for frustration over it. I still to this day will say nope that’s not what I am doing get back this task. Even as I just took a drink of my tea I was think this is great it’s at the perfect temperature.
